I'd prefer to meet your dog(s) before sitting for them for the first time and go over your expectations for our time together. I've previously sat for dogs who were on strict feeding and exercise regimens, including a senior dog who was partially blind and deaf and a large juvenile who was high-energy. If your dog has a particular schedule, medications, special needs etc. please let me know prior to the start of the sitting so I can give them the care they deserve.

Unless otherwise instructed, a typical weekday routine with your dog(s) will include breakfast in the morning before I work, and in the afternoon there will be a walk in the neighborhood followed by dinner and indoor play with toys and lots of belly rubs! Evenings will have some winding down time so your pet can be soothed for bed, and of course there will be bathroom breaks each visit and treats as needed. Weekends follow a similar schedule except with a longer walk during the day (or two shorter ones spread out) and playtime. I generally spend 10 minutes at a house in the morning, 30 minutes either at noon or 4pm (schedule-dependent), and 20 minutes in the evening. This may vary based on how many dogs are in your home and what my doggy workload is at the time, but we'll figure out the schedule particulars before I sit for you.
